Floyd Gilbert in Ralph "Pappy" Clary's #1 GTO at Whitewater Valley Speedway in 1970. This was this first race car Floyd ever drove with power steering. Floyd said after that he never drove a car without it.Photo sent by Floyd Gilbert

It was a bad omen for the crew that day, yet they hadn't a clue. Morgan's haul-truck broke down on the way to the racetrack, so he called Pat Curry of Rural Auto Parts, and Pat provided the trailer the car is sitting on, and I think a truck to pull it, too. When they arrived at the track, they took a driver and pit crew photo before unloading. Just a few hours later, #28 lay on it's top all mangled right at the end of the back straightaway at the Tri-County Speedway. I thought the year was over, but Floyd won 42 races that year, just like he said he was going to do, because he was 42 years old at that time.Photo and caption sent by Jim Snell
